The Municipality of Tuxtla, with an approximated area of 413 square kilometers, occupies a 0,5% of the territory of his State. Nevertheless is the municipality with more population of Chiapas and has by municipal head a city that, in addition, is the State Capital of Chiapas: Tuxtla Gutiérrez, trembling urban center on the feet of the Mactumaczá, the Hill of the Water. The historians agree in affirming that Tuxtla never was founded in a formal way like town, although it is known that in the middle of XV century a group of friars integrated the zoque towns, at that time dispersed in the Valley of Tuchtlan, to intergrate a town baptized with the name of San Marcos Tuxtla. In the place they raised a hermitage dedicated to San Marcos, although during the time of the Colony Tuxtla did not represent an important town given to it’s political dependency of the town of Santo Domingo de Guzmán de Chiapa de Indios, today municipality of Chiapa de Corzo.
By 1813 the Villa de Tuxtla had 5 thousand inhabitants, of who almost a 75% were zoque indians, 19% “mestizos” (a mixure between the two races) and the rest spanish. Arrived the 4 from September of 1821, inspired with the ideal of a free country, the municipal authorities proclaim the independence of Villa de Tuxtla as much of Guatemala as of Spain, adhering to the rising Empire of Don Agustín de Iturbide and being developed therefore as the capital city of that wonderful State.
Later, on May 31 of 1848 the Gutiérrez last name is added to the city of Tuxtla, in a posthumous tribute to the Chiapas’ federalist hero Don Joaquin Miguel Gutiérrez.
